CoinWeek Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 04/13/2015 09:17 am Coinweek - The Dahlonega mint began production of quarter eagles in 1839 and discontinued this denomination in 1859. There are a total of 20 issues and two major types: the popular one-year Classic Head (1839 only) and the Liberty Head (1840-1859). In my experience, choice high-grade quarter eagles from this mint are the hardest of the four denominations made in Dahlonega to acquire. While there are a few dates which are reasonably available in high grades (in this case, "high-grade" is defined as coins grading AU55 and above), many quarter eagles from this mint are very seldom found in high grades and even less often with original color and choice surfaces. As I mentioned in the first article in this series, the existence of CAC is a good way to quantify the rarity of certain issues in higher grades. CAC rewards coins which are choice and even though the sample size is not extremely high, enough choice Dahlonega gold coins have been submitted to this service I order to gain meaningful insights into rarity.

You can access them with a free membership, in one spot, broken down by grade or however you choose to index them. CAC has 140 (not counting 1839). Report this Post to the Staff
